Dammann Frères Advent Day 15 (15-February 2021)
This tea smells delicious dry. Very fruity. The flavour is really well done here. The passionfruit comes through clearly and is so delicious. It feels very tropical. There’s a hint of spiciness that doesn’t overtake and adds some depth. A is loving this one too, and we would definitely order this for our cupboard.
I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.
Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.
I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).
Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.
I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).

This was surprised me so much, because I was expecting a coconut chai ha ha.
